    Blaming The Victim Analysis

    As a response to years of domination and human rights movement, the phrase “blaming the victim” was coined by William Ryan in the book he published in 1971 (Schoellkopf,2012). Many people have adopted the phrase including supporters of crime victims, specifically rape victims. In the Old Testament concerning tragic events, various instances of victim blaming can be found considering blaming the victim as sinners (Robinson as cited in Schoellkopf, 2012). Victim blaming is one of the unfortunate consequences of a belief in a just world. According to Schoellkopf (2012), it is an occurrence that has been recently recognized as a dynamic used in maintaining status quo and empowering criminals.…

    Victim Blaming Vs Victimology

    Although criminology has a longer history then victimology, there is one similarity when looking at victim blaming and victim defending (Karmen, 2015). There can be very passionate and heated arguments over which side are considered righteous (Karmen, 2015). To make matters worse, it is largely based on a person’s ideology, which can actually cause even more of a difference of opinion depending on the type of crime and circumstances surrounding it (Karmen, 2015). This means in some cases, one would side with victim blaming, and another case they would side with victim defending. Although this conflict still exists between both victim blaming and victim defending, more and more, victimologists are showing a trend of siding with victim defending (Karmen, 2015).…

    Victimology Case Studies

    Victimology Life Style Exposure The life style that the three victims, Byers, Branch and Moore had would have put them in minimal amounts of situations where they would be exposed to victimisation. As eight year old children they would have had School Monday to Friday, where they would have been overseen by a number of adults and be in the company of numerous children. This means that most days of the week and most hours of the day the victims would have had low risk of exposure to criminal behaviour. There is also little evidence to suggest domestic violence in the homes of the victims, as however, there is only Byer’s fathers transcript in the Case Materials (1993)…

    Case Study: Victim Precipitation Theory

    Victim Precipitation Theory Jacob N Zucker Grantham University CJ102 Victim Precipitation Theory is the view that victims may initiate, either actively or passively, the confrontation that leads to their victimization (Siegel, 2014, p. 67). Active precipitation occurs when victims act provocatively, use threats or fighting words, or even attack first, resulting in their victimization (Siegel, 2014, p. 67). Passive precipitation is personal or social characteristics of victims that make them attractive to criminals; such victims may unknowingly either threaten or encourage their attackers (Siegel, 2014, p. 68). A case study and example of passive precipitation is the case of the murder of Bud and June Runion in January…
